Join us at correspondences as part of the Sydney Road Street Party for a conversation with Naarm/Melbourne-based writer, poet, and researcher Grace Yee to explore her debut poetry collection, Chinese Fish. Awarded the prestigious Victorian Prize for Literature in 2024, we know you will love Grace's book as much as we do.
Chinese Fish is a family saga that spans the 1960s through to the 1980s. Narrated in multiple voices and laced with archival fragments and scholarly interjections, it offers an intimate glimpse into the lives of women and girls in a community that has historically been characterised as both a ‘yellow peril’ menace and an exotic ‘model minority’.
